did tom and jerry ever talk in there cartoons? I saw spike (or butch), and M2S both talk. I remember the music in the back ground and the grunts and laugh they some time made but not any words.

Well Tom definately says..."Dooooon't yooouuuuuuuu beeelievvvve it", in two different cartoons. Also - "One custard pie, let me have it..." He also spells C-A-T out loud. In the Million Dollar Cat, he yells "help help, ding ding ding..." and also faces the camera and says "ya know I'm throwing away a million dollars, but I'm happy..." I'm sure there's more.

Tom has always had limited dialogue, most of the toons not a word, usually only a scream and yell, or on the phone imitation a lady in distress.

Those sound clips are GRRREAT.. and they reminded me of something I've always wondered: I recall a Bowery Boys short (from the Saturday Morning Pictures of my childhood) where one of them says "hey, lookit me... I'm dancin', I'm dancin'!" I somehow recognised that he had to be quoting some popular catchphrase of the times.. my question is: Was he quoting Jerry from the cartoon sequence in "Anchors Aweigh" - or was Jerry quoting from some other common source? I GOTTA KNOW!!!!!

Mel Blanc and June Foray were credited in the Chuck Jones' "Tom and Jerry" cartoons under "Vocal Effects". Tom did scream "Yeow!" with Mel Blanc's voice a few times whenever Jerry hurt him. John Stephenson provided the vocal effects for Tom and Jerry in the 1970s Hanna-Barbera tv cartoon version (usually Tom and/or Jerry snickering). Frank Welker and Lou Scheimer shared vocal effect duties for the 80s Filmation tv version.

Daws Butler and Paul Frees also contributed their talents to the H-B Tom and Jerry's from the 40's and 50's. In Flirty Birdy, Butler can be heard as the voice of the hawk that Tom tangles with. ("goin' down?") Butler also does Tom's voice in Mucho Mouse ("...Como esta, Senior-eita") Paul Frees can be heard as the radio announcer in The Missing Mouse, and as the ship's captain in Cruise Cat. This isn't a T&J cartoon, but Don Messick can be heard as the voice-over in Tex Avery's The House of Tomorrow. I think this was answered in another post, but does anyone know who did Mammy Two-Shoes' voice? I always thought it might have been Hattie McDaniel, of Gone With the Wind fame.

The source of Mammy Two-Shoes' voice remains a mystery. It's been widely rumored that Lillian Randolph, who played Madam Queen on Amos N Andy, was the voice in most, if not all, of Mammy's cartoons. (BCDB credits her in 1943's The Lonesome Mouse and 1947's Part Time Pal.) Even the Internet Movie Database names her as the uncredited voice of Mammy in several toons. But this remains unsubstantiated.

There's gotta be someone still alive who worked at MGM who might know... a sound technician, one of the men in the orchestra, perhaps?

In "Cat and Dupli-Cat," Tom starts the cartoon with the standard Chuck Jones intro (him meowing and hissing), then for the sub-main titles, he actually sings in a fine opera voice!

After the song the cast remained silent. Another cat competes with Tom for Jerry at a ship port at night.

I remember that one. Isn't the first shot that of Tom as a gondolier in Venice, singing as he rows along the canal?
